Toronto-based Nationals-level Gymnast, Team Canada Cheerleader and Coach, Personal Trainer, Online Instructor, and 5"3' 106lb Femme Fatale Firefighter joins Elysia and Mara on this weeks episode to talk SERIOUS dedication. Starting gymnastics when she was 2, she was bred into a superhuman with dreams of Olympic gymnastic competition. The realities of that world created isolation, manipulation, and emotional abuse. As a teen she moved to Cheerleading where she skyrocketed (literally) helping Team Canada win gold in the first 5 years of competition in her 9 year career with them. Her real dream was to be a firefighter. The grueling tests required for this position do NOT have a "girl version". Her story of dedication, grit, and absolute refusal to take no as an answer is an inspiration. She is beautiful. She is petite. She will kick your ass and save you from a burning building any day of the week.
